Yeah i beat the game and i see what u r talking about, i just didnt understand y it gave u an option when u went up to them like u could pick something from ur inventory to heal them? I guess it ws just another ff mystery or/and a way 2 mess with u!!!!! I played the 1st ff on nes and many there after, I'm suprised I missed this one! They should have a speacial item u can find in the game to cure their petrify status, since it gives u the option!!

I don't understand why they did that AGAIN with the DS version. Every single version of FFIV gives you that option, but no item whatsoever for it. The only thing I can think of is to foreshadow future events.

This is my last rant on the matter. It reminds me of a subquest later in the game involving another character. But all it gives you is a summon a little earlier in the game, and a powerful throwing weapon for Edge, plus easing the player's heart a bit. It would be nice if they did SOMETHING with the twins...

Sometimes, people who make games deliberately hint at something that actually isn't possible/doesn't exist. It's a strategy that's used in order to keep players engrossed in and talking about the game even after the last battle.

Here's a little fanfic:Palom and Porom turn to stone. Cecil and co. venture to find the cure. They find it. Return to the twins and heal them. The twins are extremely exhausted and cannot rejoin the party.
